Philosophy & Vision
I have worked with a great diversity of clients over more than 48 years. Briefly, I aim for my work to be to-the-point, and to make a meaningful difference, within both shorter or longer timeframes, as needed.
I focus on the client's issues without bringing an agenda or pre-determined method to the process. So, my approach is collaborative, to work out together, what will be most helpful given the client's own personal situation and then, what will be most effective.
My background is in psychoanalysis and European Continental Philosophy, specifically Existentialism and Phenomenology.
Two published books: How Two Love - based on my work with couples and
Meaning-Fullness, Developmental Psychotherapy and the Pursuit of Mental Health.
Services
I work with all kinds of people of all ages and backgrounds on all manner of issues. Lately, there is a huge demand for couples counselling and I have written a book on my work for this challenging area: How Two Love - Making your relationship work and last. Available on Amazon.
And more recently, a second book: Meaning-Fullness, Developmental Psychotherapy and the Pursuit of Mental Health, published by Karnac (Oxford), 2023
